Public Assembly in Brooklyn will be hosting a release party for ‘Concrete Sustain’ on Saturday, April 27. Joining us will be Inter Arma and Earthling. It’s an early show– should be something like Earthling at 8, Inter Arma at 9, and us at 10. We’ll have CD and vinyl copies of the new album for sale, of course. Tickets are available now.
The best thing about SXSW is being in once place for several days in a row. No long drives, no gas station coffee, no fast food. And we’ve had no double-headers, which makes loading in and out much easier.
Sincere thanks to everyone who has come out to a show, bought a record, bought a t-shirt, booked a show for us, played with us, put us up for the night, etc. Click through for some photos from the last few weeks and if you live in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Tallahassee, Chapel Hill, or Richmond, we’ll see you soon.
Did you manage to make it through all eleven minutes and 39 seconds of yesterday’s video? Did it give you humorrhoids, too?
Cvlt Nation has a different take, saying that ‘Concrete Sustain’ is “the sound of modern doom, and each track here holds dear to its heart the essence and core of the doom genre, yet Batillus twist it and turn it onto something new and different and a marvel to experience.”
Pick up the imported Vendetta pressing vinyl (limited colored vinyl pictured above, we also have standard black– these records look fantastic!) from us when you see us at a show and you’ll get a code to download MP3s of the album courtesy of Seventh Rule.
Tour starts tomorrow in Chicago, see dates above or here. Imported vinyl copies of ‘Concrete Sustain’ appeared out of nowhere yesterday (USPS claims to this very minute that they’re still in Frankfurt, Germany), less than 24 hours before our scheduled departure. CD copies will be available at shows soon too, but not for the first few shows. In the meantime, listen to “Mirrors” over at Invisible Oranges.
You can get a first taste of ‘Concrete Sustain‘ over at Pitchfork in the form of the album’s opening track “Concrete.” Put it in your earholes.
‘Concrete Sustain’ will be out March 19 on Seventh Rule and around the same time in Europe on Vendetta. We are going on tour to… whatever the kvlt version of “celebrate” is. Click through for the dates. Also, Twitter.

Yes, another Monday show. This time with YOB and Sea of Bones. Tickets here. Also be on the lookout for a tour announcement in the coming days.
We have a new full-length coming in March called ‘Concrete Sustain.’ That’s the cover above. We like it quite a bit and hope you will as well. If you want to read all about the who, what, when, where, how, etc. you can read the “official press release” over here. Stay tuned and we’ll hook you up with some new tracks in the coming weeks.

Stumbled on this little morsel from our second show ever, before Fade was in the band:
We’ll be heading up to Providence, RI on December 1st to play our first out-of-town show since we stopped touring earlier this summer to focus on recording our next full-length. The show is at AS220 and we’ll be joined by fellow New Yorkers Gnaw along with Rhode Island locals Tovarish, Kintaan, and Limiter Limited.
We’ve also received a small shipment of new T-shirts in the “Face” design, pictured above. These are a gray/gunmetal ink on black shirts and available in small, medium, and large. We still have a few XLs available in the “Copper Face” and “Rope Man” designs as well. Check our merch page for more.
